It only took about seven years from the date of arrest until McVeigh's execution. That's pretty fast for any jurisdiction especially the feds. The average time to execute a prisoner in federal custody is about 25 years +. Maybe they wanted to shut him up before he blabbed but the media didn't make an effort to talk to him anyway. McVeigh's political motivation is still blurry. He may or may not have belonged to some revolutionary group that might have been left wing as well as right wing. There is something fishy about the ATF's role in this tragedy. Indications are that the ATF warned judges in the Murrah building not to hold court that day and the ATF office was abandoned when the bomb went off. McVeigh couldn't have driven his car and the bomb truck at the same time so where was John Doe #2? The feds aren't that good but they had McVeigh in custody within hours of the bombing so it seems that they knew who they were after but how did they know? The ATF's role in Ruby Ridge and Waco and the insanity of Op. Fast/Furious indicates a failure in leadership to say the least so a credible theory is that McVeigh might have been recruited by undercover ATF agents in a bomb making plot and the whole thing blew up (literally).
